Sun Nov 24 19:10:00 UTC 2024: ## Panthers to Start Young Against Chiefs; Brooks Set for NFL Debut

**Charlotte, NC** – Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales announced today that rookie quarterback Bryce Young will start Sunday’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs. This follows Young’s recent two-game winning streak, boosting the Panthers’ record to 3-7. Canales cited Young’s growing confidence and aggressive play as reasons for the decision.

The game will also mark the NFL debut of rookie running back Jonathon Brooks, who has recovered from an ACL injury. Brooks will join Chuba Hubbard, currently fourth in the NFL in rushing yards (818), in the backfield. Miles Sanders is expected to miss the game.

The Panthers, despite sitting last in the NFC South, remain within striking distance of the division lead, trailing the Atlanta Falcons by only 2.5 games. They face a tough challenge in the Chiefs, who are coming off their first loss of the season against the Buffalo Bills. The matchup promises to be a key test for Young and the resurgent Panthers.
